There is no aspect of biology that has captured the public interest as much as viruses have. From the avian flu to HIV to SARS, viruses are in the news almost every day, so a site dedicated to ...

The Ren lab has previously shown that this is the case for the influenza A virus, the only known type of influenza that can cause flu pandemics, and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

However, these processes often damage the virus, making it difficult to determine its structure at a high resolution, she explained. Instead, the team used a surrogate to study POWV.

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

The study describes the structure and antigenicity of the Nipah virus attachment glycoprotein. These findings are vital for developing next-generation vaccines with improved structural stability ...

"The E1E2 complex is very flimsy - it's like a bag of wet spaghetti, always changing its shape - and that's why it's been extremely challenging to image at high resolution," says co-first author ...

How giant viruses mature: New evidence from the medusavirus sheds light Detailed evaluation of medusavirus morphology within and outside host cells provides new clues into the maturation of giant ...

Multiple PNMA2 proteins had spontaneously self-organized into 12-sided complexes that bore a striking resemblance to the geometric protein shells of some viruses. One of the immune system’s healthy ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 can alter the genomic structure of cells, which may explain the immunological symptoms that someone experiences from an infection, according to a new study from ...
